An Introduction to Sexual Consent
1.5 hours
This training is for anyone 16+ who would like to gain a basic understanding of sexual consent. There are a lot of misunderstandings, confusions and fears around consent and this training aims to help support participants to feel better equipped to navigate consent.
Let’s Explore Sexual Consent
3.5 hours
This training is for anyone 16+ who has a basic understanding of sexual consent and would like to explore sexual consent in more depth. Participants will gain a greater insight into the law and consent, and the differences between consent and non-consent. This training aims to provide an up-to-date knowledge of the legal framework around consent and sex and includes input from a survivor of sexual assault and the Police.
Bystander Intervention
1.5 hours
This training is for anyone age 16+ who would like to explore what is meant by both the bystander effect and bystander intervention. We look at the bystander effect in general, but we focus on what we can do if we witness sexual harassment or assault. Racism, bullying, sexual harassment, and other inappropriate behaviours contribute to a toxic culture, and if left unaddressed, these behaviours can become normalised over time. The impact they can have on people can be hugely detrimental – leading to stress, anxiety, physical harm, and mental health problems. The Bystander Effect is when a person sees another person in trouble but does not help or intervene. Bystander Intervention is recognizing a potentially harmful situation or interaction and choosing to respond in a safe and appropriate way that could positively influence the outcome.
Let’s Talk About Relationships
